UFC on FOX 2's Mark Munoz on Fighting Chael Sonnen + Chris Leben's Positive Drug Test

MMA H.E.A.T.'s Karyn Bryant goes to Reign Training Center to sit down with rising UFC middleweight star Mark Munoz and hear what he has to say about fighting Chael Sonnen. (The conversation takes place before the fight is 100% confirmed and announced by the UFC.) The fight, which is set for the UFC on FOX 2 card on January 28, 2012, could be seen as a title eliminator to find the next challenger to champ Anderson Silva. Mark talks about fighting the very outspoken Sonnen, their similar wrestling backgrounds and their friendship outside the octagon. A former training partner of the Nogueira's and Silva, Mark also gives his thoughts on Sonnen's repeated taunting of Brazilian fighters.  Additionally, Mark lets us know how he feels about Chris Leben's positive post-fight drug test and the Reign fight team, which includes Krzysztof Soszynski, Jason "Mayhem" Miller, Jake Ellenberger, Fabricio Werdum, Satoshi Ishii, Lew Polley and others.

UFC is rigged, they want a Silva vs Sonnen 2, so they put in someone that Sonnen can easily beat.

I think Sonnen and Munoz are at the top... it's like 1+1=2 everybody is thinking the same... common Dana give us the fight.

I believe that Munoz is the better fighter ... he will f#*&$#ck Sonnen up, king kong style XD

[eddieg671]

What happen Munoz chicken out

[MALIRIPPA]

I Think sonnen Will beat bisping i knew he couldnt beat munoz but i guess his fight 2nd fight against Silva Will happen

[bdalani1985]

I think Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen 2 would be a great fight - Anderson silva: known for his precision striking, creativity, and ju jitsu & Chael Sonnen: known for dry humping his opponents into unanimous decision. I mean, who could not possibly want to see that?!
